Syndromes in liver disease and ways zhelchevyvodyaschmh

With the development of modern methods of diagnostics of internal diseases became clear, that liver disease, or hepatopathy, are much more common, than it was assumed earlier, and that many uncertainties signs of disease basically also have disorders of the liver. Since the liver is a vital organ and performs a number of functions (cleaning the body from toxic substances, synthesis and preservation of vitamins, glucose and other substances, metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, etc.), its ability to repair itself (regeneration) very high. So often arise under the influence of various factors in the liver pathological processes become visible and manifest clinical symptoms only in advanced stages of the disease, when the general condition of the body becomes heavy. So, yellowness of mucous membranes occurs in liver disease, related to the violation of the outflow of bile, becomes noticeable and, when the disease process has evolved considerably.

The most common liver disease is hepatitis. There are acute and chronic hepatitis. Acute hepatitis in the vast majority is a viral disease. Chronic hepatitis in 50-80% of cases - is the result of acute viral hepatitis. Besides, possible hepatitis due to intoxication by some organic substances, prolonged use of alcoholic beverages. It is believed, that play a role in immune processes organism. In some cases, chronic hepatitis occurs without clinical manifestations, without requiring active treatment, other - causes severe changes in the body.

In diseases of the liver are following syndromes:

  • Dyspeptic syndrome (dyspepsia), syndrome or hepatic insufficiency - decreased appetite, often feel nausea and vomiting occurs, observed defecation disorders (constipation and / or diarrhea);
  • Yellowness - yellowing of the mucous membranes (whites of the eyes, gums, lips) and sometimes the light areas of the skin, urine becomes brown, feces become light, clay. Sometimes yellowed skin itch;
  • Hemorrhagic Syndrome - an increase in bleeding time, develop symptoms of anemia, there may be bleeding into the skin and mucous membranes;
  • Syndrome of portal hypertension (increasing the pressure in the venous vessels, exiting the liver) - The apparent increase in the size of the stomach, ascites (dropsy), sometimes an extension of the saphenous veins of the abdomen;
  • Gepatolinealny syndrome - an increase in liver spleen. This increase is best seen on the radiograph, as the liver and spleen is not always possible to probe;
  • Hepatic colic - a strong pain in the liver. The pain may be dull ("Pulling") or acute, pristupoobraznoj.

If you suspect a disease of the liver is performed biochemical analysis of blood and urine. One-time analysis can not be the basis for the diagnosis. For, to determine liver disease, analysis is repeated several times during the month and the observed changes in some indicators (bromsulyfaleinovaya sample, alkaline phosphatase activity, Sample transaminases and other).

There are the following group of diseases of the liver:

Hepatitis - inflammation of the liver tissueSteatosis - degeneration of liver tissue noninflammatory nature
Infectious and parasiticReason - infection (leptospirosis, viral hepatitis, and others), glistnaya invasion (toksokaroz, hydatid disease, etc.), coccidiosis etc.
NoncommunicableThe reason - the toxins, which come from the food, chemical poisoningThe reason is most often wrong malnutrition

 

All these groups of diseases lead to the destruction and pathological degeneration of liver tissue. Depending on the degree of change in tissue and organ functions, There are acute and chronic diseases, as well as chronic diseases, accompanied by stagnation of bile and liver cirrhosis. Each of these complexes painful manifestations of different characteristic features and requires special treatment.

The cause of many diseases may be a violation of the liver: hypertension, anemia, a bleeding disorder and other. Therefore, for suspected serious illness, doctor always assigns a full examination, including a review of the most important organs, including liver.
